Quite a few yet when meeting cars fall to dim their lights which as a safety method should be observed by all drivers. Also to honk your horn wben passing a car la another thing should be done. We were following a car from Flora that had a sign "This car stops al ali railroad crossings." It did not, as It never paused at the R. R. crossing at Louisville, Why? We think since the railroads bave so many safety meetings it would be a good plan for all car drivers to get together elect officers and hold monthly safety meetings and discuss satety methods for all car drivers and hold meeting one month In Flora and alternate with Loulsvillfe.

Orlie Stanford, a freshmaii In th* local high school during the p«st year, won the state championabip iB the grain section of tbe Illinois Stat* Vocational Agriculture Judging Con¬ test held at Urbana, June 1$-S0.

Moet ot the schools represented however, were trom the oentral and northern parts ot the atate. Mt. Vernon, Albion and Cobden were th* only achool present south of Flora.
A championship of tbls nature should receire the aame credit and honor as a similar one in athletics. The intellectual side, ot course, is foremost, hut besides this, there I* the competitive factor and a chance for training in winning and losing.
The school which the boy repre¬ sented was given a large banner, pre¬ sented by the agronomy department of the College of Agriculture, U jf III. Also a large lorlng cup waa present by the agriculture club of the college, and to tbe boy himself, a !;nld medal was presented by th* State Vocational Agriculture Depart¬ ment, besides ribbons for various classes of grain.
In the live stock and dairy divis¬ ions the local high school was repre¬ sented by Loren Anderson, Howard Bowen and Allen McOee. Altbough the team did not receive any re¬ wards as a team, Bowen tied with five otber boys for first In Holsteln cattle.
The winners of the other divisions of the contest were as follows: Povl- try, Aledo; dairy, Mendota; live¬ stock, Lanark,
Any nornuU boy should look for¬ ward to a trip of this kind with mucn interest and desire to receire tbe honor of representing his school in • state contest of nearly one hundreil cbools.
It Is only another step forward In the progress of education during tba past halt decade.
It was no doubt a trip never to o* forgotten by the boya who went and saw the great university and who took part in the contest .

Quite a few yet when meeting cars fall to dim their lights which as a safety method should be observed by all drivers. Also to honk your horn wben passing a car la another thing should be done. We were following a car from Flora that had a sign "This car stops al ali railroad crossings." It did not, as It never paused at the R. R. crossing at Louisville, Why? We think since the railroads bave so many safety meetings it would be a good plan for all car drivers to get together elect officers and hold monthly safety meetings and discuss satety methods for all car drivers and hold meeting one month In Flora and alternate with Loulsvillfe.

Moet ot the schools represented however, were trom the oentral and northern parts ot the atate. Mt. Vernon, Albion and Cobden were th* only achool present south of Flora.
A championship of tbls nature should receire the aame credit and honor as a similar one in athletics. The intellectual side, ot course, is foremost, hut besides this, there I* the competitive factor and a chance for training in winning and losing.
The school which the boy repre¬ sented was given a large banner, pre¬ sented by the agronomy department of the College of Agriculture, U jf III. Also a large lorlng cup waa present by the agriculture club of the college, and to tbe boy himself, a !;nld medal was presented by th* State Vocational Agriculture Depart¬ ment, besides ribbons for various classes of grain.

The winners of the other divisions of the contest were as follows: Povl- try, Aledo; dairy, Mendota; live¬ stock, Lanark,
Any nornuU boy should look for¬ ward to a trip of this kind with mucn interest and desire to receire tbe honor of representing his school in • state contest of nearly one hundreil cbools.
It Is only another step forward In the progress of education during tba past halt decade.
It was no doubt a trip never to o* forgotten by the boya who went and saw the great university and who took part in the contest .
